Beet cleaner-loader Tiger 5 - RACCOON

self-propelled

Washing sugar beets and removing stones in the field during harvest: this is the function of the ROPA raccoon, an ingenious conversion installed by Palandt Agrartechnik, the ROPA service agent in Lower Saxony. A wet stone removal system using the extraction process with beet washing and sand removal is integrated into the bunker of the ROPA Tiger. With 6 m³ of water on board approximately 2 ha of beets can be harvested without stones before the tank has to be refilled. Soil-protective hydraulic chassis system with new tyre technology ROPA R-Soil Protect is a soil-protective, hydraulic chassis system with MICHELIN CerexBib tyre technology with for the first time only 1.4 bar tyre inflation pressure for efficient harvesting of root crops. Thanks to networking of all three hydraulically supported axles wheel load is balanced between all wheels and load peaks on a wheel are consistently excluded. The blend of the hydraulic chassis with the new generation MICHELIN IF1000/55 R32 CerexBib tyres offers a larger contact surface with significantly reduced contact pressure. Hydraulic chassis system - roll stabilisation with load compensation Specifically for the Tiger 5, ROPA has developed an innovative chassis concept with an oscillating front axle in conjunction with 2 hydraulically supported rear axles. Compared to previous chassis of 3-axle beet harvesters (the central axle is fixed to the frame) this reduces the sway of machine by one third! This is the result of the hydraulic connection of the cylinders on the front and rear axles on one side,
